Winter Reading Club for Adults begins January 12

I’d Always Meant to Read that Book! is the theme of our 2008 Winter Reading Club for Adults and Young Adults. Join us Saturday, January 12 for the kick-off. The fireplace will be crackling and we’ll have hot chocolate and goodies, as well as prizes just for signing up. Your librarians are hard at work on lists of wonderful books that you have always meant to read, but missed, or would like to read again. The club will run until Saturday March 1, when we’ll draw names for TWO grand prizes. Weekly prizes will be awarded throughout and everyone who reads six books or more by March 1 will receive a cool gift. Come join us—we’re looking forward to seeing you in the Library!

Children's and YA Winter Reading Club

Kids and teens can escape the cold by signing up for our Winter Reading Club, starting Saturday December 15. Children get to add scales to a dragon's tail for each book they read and can enter a drawing for a prize. Teens can win weekly prizes and enter a drawing for a grand prize (and receive a cool gift just for signing up)! Come to the library to sign up and review the rules.

Adult Winter Reading will begin on Saturday, January 12.
